It may be desirable for your lab to make libraries outside of the UMGC, either to reduce costs or to implement protocols that are not offered as standard services by the UMGC. In order to help researchers with their own library creation efforts, the UMGC offers a variety of DNA manipulation services “à la carte”. These include DNA shearing, LabChip XT size-selection, and library pooling and quality control.
